100 Greatest One-hit Wonders (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable list. Alksub 00:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Unsourced, and even if it wasn't, completely non-notable (it's a replica of one list from a TV show from 5 years ago). Oli Filth 00:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as unsourced and inherently POV. The non-US bands seem to have had only one hit in the USA, but ignores their home countries. Dbromage [Talk] 01:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this isn't VH1. Take your OR trivia elsewhere. Possible speedy as copyvio of the show? VanTucky (talk) 01:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete because 1. not notable list 2. unreferenced NHRHS2010 Talk 01:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Violates fair use without critical commentary, and without critical commentary from reliable secondary sources, this list is presented as The Truth, and is thus POV. --Phirazo 03:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - eo 12:05, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete POV and OR, and this would be extremely hard to fix. Hut 8.5 17:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Could find nothing at VH1 Site that confirms this list. SkierRMH 20:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for all the above rerasons, plus the fact that it is far from a well-researched list. even if it was possible for "a list of the best one-hit wonders" to be NPOV, it would at least have to contain one-hit wonders. So (to take just two out of many examples from the list)... which of Suzi Quatro's three number one hits does it list? And why is the Devo hit listed no the one that charted highest or for longest? Grutness...wha? 01:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't care if this list gets deleted, but at least it's sourced now. Maher-shalal-hashbaz 02:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
True - it's sourced now, however sourced as a TV documentary series. If re-written/presented as that it might be a very weak 'keep' (as a documentary series), but presented solely as a list, all of the other concerns above still stand. SkierRMH 15:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete "greatest" is inherently subjective. We're an encyclopaedia, and everyone will have a different point of view on the matter. VH1 may create such a list, Wikipedia may not. Melsaran (talk) 11:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
